Overview:
Alle started to refact the discussion-pages. StarPilot understrikes the fact that WikiWorld is people having dialog, and not an objective site.

StarPilot,
I noticed WikiWorld is not WikiPedia, not an objective site. Dialog is important for WikiWorld, but we have to learn to have a good dialog together. A good dialog is not the same as putting texts together. One have to understand what the partner in the dialog wanted to say, and to show what one understands.
What I am doing here is learning, is thinking about our dialog. To learn is to look to things in another way than you used to do, to try to do things in a better way. Why don't you refact the pages, so that I can learn from your vision? Why don't you try to follow my changes, to look if the work as I think they work?
Alle van Meeteren, WikiWorld is not an objective site. It's a learning and philosophy site. Both require dialog if people are to actually learn them. Somewhere between 75% to 90% of WikiWorld is nothing more then individual people having a dialog. That's the entire article. This is important, as most users are not going to link to the discussion on, say, SocialContract, by using SocialContract. Indeed, I think the main meat of this article is the discussions itself.
On the logic and anal-retentative scales for humans, I'm fairly up there. I have a fairly good understanding of when a "typical" human just won't care if things are made neater--- they only care how easily they can use something, how easy it is to find what they want, and that what they want to learn isn't too difficult to do so. WikiWorld is currently leaving that world very far behind. I see this as counter to the purposes of WikiWorld. As KenSchry has said to me repeatily, this isn't Wikipedia.
I hope this series of postings will communicate to you the information you seek from me. But if there is anything I forgot about because I lost track of the matter with the refactoring you do, please feel free to call it to my attention. New viewpoints only enrich WikiWorld.
